Wedell’s coach, JD Martinez, said his dedication has not gone unnoticed. In fact, because of his hard work, Martinez and his staff thought it would be a great idea to allow Walker an opportunity to get off the sidelines and into a game. Martinez ran the idea by Head Coach Bill Poe of Justin Northwest High School and made plans for a special play for Walker to occur during the SHS homecoming game on Sept. 20, 2019.

Sherman high was winning 16-0 by the end of the second quarter. With no time on the clock, both coaches decided it was time for Wedell to play. As the teams lined up for the play — a play that Walker has gone through many times at practice — the entire stadium audience was on their feet, and Walker's classmates were yelling "Walker! Walker! Walker!" from the student section.

Sherman won homecoming 23-6. For everyone on the field, it was a win to be able to take part in a life-changing experience.
